Tooth Decay / Cavities

Tooth Decay is still a major problem in America. Dental bacteria, sugar and acid are responsible for creating holes in teeth. Bacteria in your mouth produce acid that will destroy enamel. It takes a pH of 4 or less to dissolve tooth enamel. Diet Coke (pH 3.1) Coke (pH 2.4), Gatorade (pH 2.9), and Pepsi (pH 2.5) are all acidic enough to dissolve teeth.
